Do you marinate chicken in buttermilk prior to frying?

If so, how long? Is 24 hours too long?

I don't but have in the past and 24hrs isn't too long. I find the milk proteins start to burn before the chicken is done, it would probably be fine with smaller pieces or if you rinsed the buttermilk off prior to the battering it.

I usually try to shoot for 6-10 hours but I’m sure 24 hours isn’t too long.

Works great for wings and tenders, and I usually marinate for 6 to 8 hours. Not sure if 24 is too long or not, but give it a shot.

I've done this with yogurt too. I do it overnight but buttermilk overnight could be a little long depending on taste. I love buttermilk so 24 hours ain't too long for me.

I tried it a few times and found the chicken came out greasy and we didn't care for the crust texture. That was even with wiping off the excess buttermilk.
